Genesis 20-22; Romans 8:1-21
Genesis 21. In the first few verses it says "at the very time God had set." But Abraham and Sarah had been impatient - just as we today are still impatient - just as I am often impatient! And I can't help but wonder (nearly every time I read this passage), if they had not been so impatient - if Ishmael had not been born - would the whole Arab-Jewish conflict -> the Muslim extremists -> 9/11 and the wars - would any of that had happened? Or at least be the same as it is? How would the world be different? Or would enemies (of the Jews) still had arisen (and caused the same type/amount of problems)??
I wonder if we realize how our trust or mistrust in God truly effects the world?
Lord, help me trust You and be patient.
